Catholicism, or adherence to the Mosteth Holyeth and Sacreeith Roman Catholic Church, So Sayeth His Holiness Pope Julius Maximus LCXXVIII and Everyone Else Who Cometh Beforeth Him and Anyone Else Who Cometheth Behindeth Him is the largest support group in the world. With over 1 billion members (of varying loyalties and intelligence levels) and with a support team of almost 400,000 superpowered individuals, Catholicism, is the most exciting and vibrant club one can belong to. Over the years Catholicism has gained an almost religious following.

Catholicism is the true version of Christianity. Many vocal supporters of the enemy disagree ardently with this notion, but unfortunately, they are wrong. Catholicism is widely considered to be the wide-screen, director's cut DVD Blu-Ray of religion.

History

9 out of 10 Catholic priests protest this article

Warning: Despite the Catholic Church's sincere efforts to censor potentially damaging information remove Satanic information from this webpage, it still remains tainted by the Devil. The Catholic Church is not liable for your extradition to Hell.

The Catholic Church is a secret underground cult of the church for raving pedophiles that have hindered scientific advancements for centuries and have sex with the little boys that attend their churches. good Christians who worship Jesus Christ. This guy is a ProtestantSatanist.

Invention of the Steak

It is known that during the inquisition, non-believers were impaled on pointy poles and burned until they became "steak". Luckily, in a sudden twist of fate, Pope Ramses XXIII declared that steak be made out beef and not of non-believers. (If you're a non-believer, be thankful that you were not born in the 6th to 7th century.)

The Crusades

The Crusades were an attempt by the Catholics to bring the people in the Holy Land to submission by raping and pillaging, especially little boys, those sick fucks. Take the holy land which was rightfully theirs. It didn't work because God saw that the Catholics were being |_|/\/1337 God did not feel that the people living there were ready for having a priest molest them in a "most Holy Manner" enlightenment. According to some theology teachers at horrible Catholic propaganda brainwashing encampments schools, the Crusades never happened.

Children's Crusades

The Children's Crusades were false memories planted by the Church of England. No incidents involving children and priests ever happened.

The Anti-Christ

The Anti-Christ came in 2003 in the form of a teenaged haxor, which can be evidenced by the fact that There are Rumors that the Anit-Christ is, in fact, the BOFH.

How exactly did 2000 spell Y2K? guess you have to understand Binary Code for that.

Nuances

In comparison to mainstream Christianity, Catholicism is the belief that when Jesus was hung up by the wrists, it didn't matter. Some scientists theorize that this was due to the amount of insulin that he had to take in to prevent his massive diabetes problem. Eventually, Jesus woke up (much to the chagrin of his would-be oppressors), feeling rather woozy. And cold, because most of his insulation had either dissipated or been eaten by the guy who had stabbed him. Jesus, being a level 20 sorcerer, was then able to teleport off of the painful spike (some might wonder why it is that he didn't cast that while he was being beaten and chained up there, but he was out of mana, and needed those three days of sleep they provided him with to regain it). Mark quotes Jesus as saying that next time Judas tells him to go for a walk in the garden, he'll bring some mana potions and his staff with a +20 damage enchant (fire damage).

Later he killed the ones who had hung him up there, and was later lit up with an AR-15 assault rifle, riddled with thirty-four bullets. It not the Jews as we have been led to believe, nor even Santa, as others believe, or even Rudolf. It was, in fact, the Society of Jesus.

Central Beliefs

The Pope

Unquestioned loyalty to the Pope is essential, unless you are wicked, in which case worship of the Pope is also required. Without the guiding light of His Holiness, Catholics consider themselves to be lost in a sea of dangerous information that might be used to bring about the Final Apocalypse. The Pope acts as the Mouthpiece of God, and occasionally as His TV remote control as well. To identify the Pope, look for the following:

A lot of people surrounding the guy. This is pretty common whenever the Pope visits New York or West Lubbock, Texas, because people mistake him for Elvis. Don't ask me why.

A white yarmulke.

Many jealous theologians have equated the Pope with Satan or some other evil deity - this is only because the Pope gets to live in a huge, cool palace filled with paintings and antique statues, while most theologians are forced to live in the suburbs. The Pope also has God's cell number, while most theologians only know of His voicemail.

When attending one of the rituals of this group, you will find that they are actually being controlled. If you attend a full ceremony, at the very end they will give you a piece of some kind of drug that keeps a visitor coming back every week for more, for the essence of the Flat Jesus is impossible for most mortals to escape from.

Weekly Catholic rituals are not to be confused with excessively dogmatic behaviour (see below). This trait that most Catholics possess is a defence mechanism that serves to strengthen the people of God.

Dogma

This article contains unquestionable divine truths.
Anyone who does question will be branded a heretic.
Any and all heretics will be guillotined immediately.

Dogma is one of the best kept secrets of the Catholic Church. In order to get to Catholic Heaven (which beats Hindu Heaven hands down, but loses by a smidgin' to Mormon Heaven, and according to The Simpson is way funnier, less judgmental, and more drunker than Protestant Heaven) you must believe in dogma.

These two dogmas are the entire essence of the Catholic Church's teachings, and explains their position on everything from sex (it costs money) and abortion (it's from sex), and why you should put money in those little baskets they throw at you during Mass.

From this dogma, the Catholic Church has the Catholic Catechism:

Pleasure is bad and should make you feel guilty.

Food is bad and should make you feel guilty.

Being born is bad (called original sin) and should make you feel guilty.

Eating meat on Friday is bad and should make you feel guilty.

The Catholic Church is good and should make you feel happy.

Modern theologians are in full agreement that if St. Paul had gotten laid, even by that Mary Magdalene chick, the Church today would be very different. And a lot more fun.

Karma

Too late; you looked. Get your ass over to the confessional booth, sinner.

Catholics don't believe in karma. They believe, instead, that someone is watching to see if they are good or bad, making a list, and checking it twice. O.K., call it "instant karma", instead. Every December.

Wilma

Catholics are afraid of WilmaFlintstone: to them, she is the red-headed Whorebeast of the Apocalypse who shall slay all those who don't partake of her chewable vitamins. Some of her symbols (weird hair, stupid consort, pearl necklace) can be traced to the modern-day wiccan, Marge Simpson.

The Catholic Church's position on sex is very firm. To sum it up in a quick easy-to-remember sentence: you will get sent to hell if you have oral sex, anal sex, penis sex, vagina sex, phallis sex, vageena sex, premarital sex, sex with the steps in front of an altar, gay sex, finger sex, underwater sex, upside down sex, loud sex, sex with the lights on, sex on a pool table, protected sex, unprotected sex, semi-protected sex, or (AND MOST UNFORGIVABLY!) NAKED SEX. It's quite obvious that God prefers us never to have sex with anyone. Obviously, if he wanted us to procreate, he would just slap up some mudpies and make himself some more humans. Or, if he REALLY wanted children to be born, he would impregnate all the women himself, and thus, by this concise logic, it should be apparent that NO ONE should have sex EVER. Don't even try it.

There is only one unforgivable sin that, when you die, will send you straight to hell - being a dick on Uncyclopedia. Burn, baby, burn!

Fortunately, private investors such as eDulgences are interested enough in your sins to absolve them for you!

Money

Sale of indulgences has largely been discontinued, although anti-Catholic conspiracists occasionally claim that the Catholic Church still has significant market share in numerous industries. This is clearly false.

Fast food franchise Popeyes' subliminal endorsement of the Pope.

Jesus was a big fan of the green. Before he was ever known as 'the king of rap' he was just an average joe. He was into wine making and had a drinking problem. Now, once he had a posse that would do things for him (via his bluff checks/leadership feat) he told them to go guilt people into giving him money. And, lots of people gave Jesus money. But he never would have been popular if it wasn't for the chicks. Jesus knew how to get laid. If only the twelve dorks he hung out with could have learned something from that.

Due to this conviction to the amassing of large amounts of wealth, Catholicism is now the wealthiest religion in the world, outstripping Scientology's net worth by at least several billion dollars. Since sale of indulgences has dropped to a scant 2% of total Catholic income, the slack has been picked up through aggressive merchandising.

Compared, for example, to Scientology's single mainstream Hollywood film, Catholicism has had numerous mainstream successes in the form of blockbuster films, including Constantine's Choice, Last Tango of the Christ, Revenge of the Christ, and The Matrix trilogy.

Powering Up

Immortal Jesuit Emperor Fed Acker Huang, one of the many friendly faces a follower of Catholicism can hope to meet during one's temporary existence.

Catholics believe in the mystical energy of Powering Up; specifically, Catholics believe in the existence of individuals who attain superpowers through faith and generous donations to Peter's Pence. These special individuals are known as saints, and they are widely worshipped as minor deities when God happens to be on hold (a common occurrence on Saturday nights).

Saints are typically granted special approval from the Pope to rise to the rank of immortal. It is estimated that there are some 60,000,000 immortals in the world today, many of whom belong to the Society of Jesus. Some of these figures of note are:

Future Popes

One of several ways to become Pope. Not recommended, however.

There are two theories on the future of the papacy. Here's one that's total crap:
Eventually all popes shall simply join into a hive mind thinking that they will rule as one. What none of them will know though is that John Travolta already rules the hivemind, and that nobody can dominate his mind. His willpower is too strong. That's right. John Travolta > you.
